Will if we were to apply principal to a swank radio show well I think we may have hit the zenith of swank ness.......on the show this week a man who has taken spookey tunes of the bmovie world and made them hip and cool for a young and exotic crowd. We talk advertising and irony straight from a life in the penthouse article for ultraswank.net plus I have the best lounge and exotica music as our interesting guests .

Ok here's a quote for you "I'm like cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other".
The film, Breakfast At Tiffany's is our focus this week and movie expert Kramer takes the elevator up to the penthouse as we talk loungin bachelor pad movies.
We have news from Mr Ho's Orchestrotica plus word that Vic Flick is selling that infamous guitar that's behind the 007 Theme.

the lights are low the music is up high on the hi fi, the curtains are open to reveal a gorgeous Sydney skyline and the city buzzes below while I gather the latest and greatest lounge and exotica cds assembled into pile in the only radio studio 52 flights above the city of Sydney as this week we make a long distance phone call to hollywood to find out about the Hollywood Cafe, we find out about the Global Martini Tour Test, head back to our childhood to talk about an essential toy of the mid 20th century and I'll tell you how to own some Bond history.

We are talking about the humble lid on this weeks show as John Penman from Penman Hats. There's some Mad Men Season Six News plus we are talking Modernism Week and a look at the world of swank as we check out the best parties from across the globe

Sometimes the modern world can be too much, often it's not just the painful pop culture that can grind you to a pulp with its incessant screeching like finger nails down a chalkboard. Often you can want to get away from it all, to get into that time machine of your mind....the best way, movies, music and books.
Tonight we head back to 1967 to talk loungin bachelor pad movies with Kramer. I've got an amazing doco to tell you about plus the best classic and new lounge from across the globe.

My favourite time is late night, when the noise of the city settles down to a a dull roar, the phone doesn't ring and the night goes on forever.
the tinkling of piano jazz on the hi fi fills the background void and thinking becomes more clear, work gets done, thoughts are formed and ideas generated
This week on the snow we talk to a man by the name of Harvey Jordan who has an incredible story about a theme park that never got built.
Some amazing mad men news about a pending lawsuit from a sixties model who's image was used on the show plus the best lounge and exotica from across the globe.

I've always loved parties, big parties, little parties, swank parties.
To me it's the expectation of wonderful stories and friendships strengthened by the occasion.
New friends and old friends coming together.
Parties can be held for lots of reasons or no reason at all so tonight we will talk about the forty
greets parties in Literature with society gal Suzette Field from London and we talk to trash movie
expert Andrew Leavold who is going to tell us about a Filipino James Bond midget.

one of my favourite places in the world is New York city. Sadly I am too young to have been caught in the whirl wind of excitement that the big apple provided back in the fifties and sixties, but I can go there in my mind with the large number of songs written about the big apple.

So this week its an all New York show as we take a trip in the time machine of our minds visiting the Rockefeller centre, central park, the Chrysler building and the Empire State Building and all those marvellous places from the city that never sleeps

When it comes to holding a party in your swank pad you want it to go off with out a hitch, this week Kramer stops by to talk about a movie where it all goes wrong..The Party staring Peter Sellers. This is one of those films that you will laugh so much you will cry and forevermore will have quotes and scenes etched in your memory. My favourite part of the film is when Peter Sellers manages to lose his slip on shoe,and ofcourse we can’t forget Birdy Num Num!
